Welcome to SSSP.
Student Support Services at City College is one of 900 plus programs offered
across the nation and one of five TRIO programs funded under title IV of the
Higher Education Act.
This program supports college students to persevere until they earn a bacca-
laureate degree. SSSP’s cohort of administrators, counselors and student
staff collaborate with college-wide programs and departmental faculty to
promote the well-being of SSSP students.
At each stage of academic life, SSSP’s counselors acclimate the student to
the next academic year. Throughout the semester, the counselors confer
with the Academic Resource Center’s coordinator on the student’s academic
progress and prescribe skills-support activities for tutorial sessions.
Once connected to the program, the SSSP student can engage in a variety of
activities. At SSSP, there are many opportunities to develop leadership qual-
ities and strengthen academic skills. As new ideas appear on the horizon,
our counselors will seek out students to engage them.
In spring and fall, SSSP’s capstone events recognize the hard work and prac-
ticed determination of SSSP members. We are proud to celebrate with our
students’ all their accomplishments.
Stay in touch with your counselors. Take part in SSSP’s engagement initia-
tives. My weekly email updates will help you follow SSSP’s event calen-
dar.

Prior to joining the Student Support Services Program during the 2007-2008 academic year, Ann worked at a non-profit mental health organization for ten years. Five of those years were served in a managerial position as a Residence Director. She graduated from The City College of New York with a Bach-elor of Arts degree in Psychology, a Master of Arts degree in Sociology and a Master of Public Administration. She is pas-sionate and committed to helping the underserved.
Katherine’s admiration for the Sciences began in high school when she learned how every cell in our body works togeth-er to provide a greater function, creating life. Consequently, she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Science from John Jay College. Katherine’s fascination with how genetic mutations lead to diseases and disorders guided her to pur-sue a Doctoral Degree in Molecular Biology at the CUNY Graduate Center. While conducting breast cancer research and having to teach undergraduates, Katherine realized that her greatest passion stemmed from the instant gratification she felt as she interacted and taught her undergraduate students how to appreciate the Sciences. Katherine has a Master’s in Biology from Hunter College. She is currently a counselor for SSSP and an adjunct lecturer. During her spare time, Katherine enjoys traveling, taking long walks and prac-ticing meditation. Katherine hopes to continue to provide the guidance and care her students need for them to suc-ceed.

The General Education Curriculum, also called Core Curriculum, is an educa-tional experience shared by all City College students regardless of their ma-jor. It is comprised of introductory coursework designed to give students the fundamental skills and background they need to pursue advanced work at the major or upper-level elective work and to instill a habit of mind that sees all areas of knowledge as interrelated. Students are able to choose from a selection of courses that build fundamental skills, such as Writing, Research, Critical Thinking and Quantitative Reasoning, while introducing them to different fields of knowledge and inquiry. For Students entering: Fall 2013 or after—Pathways Prior to Fall 2013—2007-2013 General Education Requirement Curriculum Checklists: Go to http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/gened/general-education-checklists.cfm Students visit the departments of their majors to meet with a major / mi-nor advisor in the program of their choice.

Zahn Innovation Center www.zahncenternyc.com
[email protected] (212) 650—7434
This center is a startup incubator located at the City College of New York offer-ing co-working space and an array of resources including: annual competi-tions, a startup boot-camp, mentorship and pro-bono services, networking opportunities, and rapid prototyping facilities.
AN APPLIED EDUCATION Zahn inspires CCNY students to approach their education as change-makers, transforming classroom learning into real-world application. Each semester we partner with various academic departments to create curricula to cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset. We also pair students with startups and other companies in the NYC area through our robust internship program. A COMMUNITY OF CHANGEMAKERS Zahn invites all entrepreneurial thinkers to join their diverse community by attending their public events. They host prominent entrepreneurs, investors and other innovators to City College’s campus, they host hackathons, work-shops and other programs throughout the year. They also encourage students to join one of their startup teams or become a part of the Center through the Student Entrepreneurship Club. Z.I.C. has two locations on campus: The Grove School of Engineering Steinman Building which is specifically for prototyping. The Marshak Science Building which is specifically for co-working. Within these spaces, the Zahn Innovation Center endeavors to foster an envi-ronment whereby students, with the entrepreneurial aptitude, can bring their ideas and cultivate them, enhance them, and develop them to the point where the ideas are realized.
